Open Doors - St Meugan's Church, Llanrhydd

St Meugan's Church at Llanrhudd is the present church for the later St Peter's Church in the centre of Ruthin. It is thought to have an early Celtic Christian origin. It is single-chambered, with the earliest surviving fabric perhaps 15th-century in origin, with a single Perpendicular window surviving in the north wall, and a broadly contemporary south door and porch. Some restoration may have taken place in 1626, and in 1852 it was restored by a Victorian architect who retained more of the old building than some of his contemporaries would have done. 

Inside is a late medieval rood screen, some fragments of stained glass from the 15th or 16th century, a succession of monuments from the late 16th century onwards, a plain font and a 17th-century altar table. There are interesting monuments to the local family, the Thelwalls, and in the churchyard the large shaft of a medieval preaching cross.

No booking required.
